But we have already determined, they ARE idiots. I doubt they'll snag him. Ugh.
What's frustrating is that year's lineup has such an overabundance of mediocre indie rock acts that could easily be swapped out with acts like Mac DeMarco, Real Estate, etc. It just feels like they missed every artist who released a great album in 2014 and is actively touring in 2015.
For me, as far as indie rock goes, it's hardest to see Hoizer up so high. Take Me to Church is a fun song, but the rest of the album didn't really do anything for me. He probably wasn't super cheap to book either. ughhh. Although, overall most cringeworthy has to go to Sublime and Aoki. They take the cake.
I doubt we see anymore artist additions (besides the hub acts) unless they sold way less tickets than anticipated or we get a cancellation.
Also I don't think Matt & Kim will be the Thursday headliner. They drew a pretty large crowd at their last Firefly and I don't see them being demoted to Thursday with a new album on the way. Last year Local Natives was the #1 act on Thursday and I'd put Matt & Kim well above them in popularity. The Kooks look to be a lock for Thursday night based on tour dates but not sure if they'd headline.
Pollstar also lists Big Data and Modest Mouse for Friday, Dirty Heads for Saturday and Cathedrals and Tove Lo for Sunday
I do hope they expand Thursday this year to open the brewery as well as the new pavilion stage. I don't understand why they kept the Dogfish tent closed last year on Thursday when it's always a big draw.
Yeah, I've got this gut feeling, Matt ad Kim won't be our Thursday's. Just about everyone wants to see them. It's gonna be someone further down the bill.
Let's talk late night EDM... I'd assume Zedd fills the pre-HL Calvin Harris 2013 slot, post HL wouldn't make sense if Macca plays until 12. Saturday though seems interesting. Last year there wasn't a pre-HL EDM act Saturday, but seeing as Aoki/Chainsmokers are 2 of the highest billed EDM acts on the lineup, I'd doubt they'd conflict. Maybe Aoki pre-HL against another big name and late night Chainsmokers? The other possibility would be Chainsmokers on a small stage during the early evening and Aoki in the Girl Talk slot from last year, but I don't think they'd give CS that shitty of a slot. Thoughts?

I will never stop being pissed about getting Aoki'd. Even Wednesday night of FF, as I'm heading to the Woodlands and super excited to get down to it, there will be a voice in my head whispering "isn't it a shame you got Aoki'd...Aoki'd...Aoki'd (echoes)"
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Even if Paul plays until midnight, I think that leaves room for a late night Zedd set. Last year, Outkast's set was scheduled to end at 12:10 am, and Pretty Lights was scheduled to play the Backyard stage starting at 12:15 am. See below:

Good call. Forgot to take into account the festival ended an hour earlier in 2013, so late night sets over an hour weren't possible that year.

If Aoki and Zedd are seemingly Friday Saturday, then who do we think is closing out the fest? A non-EDM name? Somebody yet to be announced? DJ Mustard?

Fucking A, you're probably right: Zedd will be pre-HL, and Aoki will get an after midnight slot. WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE (aka the people in this thread)?!!

I know its probably a long shot because he so lowly billed, but I really hope Rustie gets a late night slot somehow. I hear his light show is pretty nuts and during the day just wouldnt have the same effect

White Panda closing out would be the most Firefly thing to ever happen

If The Killers headline Sunday, I think Firefly will let them close out the fest given their history. If it's Kings of Leon, I could potentially see a similar situation to last year. Not sure who would get the Big G slot though.

Friday is getting crowded reallllllly quick. I hope it's not like Saturday last year. I missed so many acts I wanted to see.
Yeah, it's making me nervous. Zedd was the EDM I was looking forward to most. If he's right before McCartney (who I'm looking forward to the most overall) I'm going to have to skip him to get close to McCartney. If he's after, I'm going to be pretty tired from standing for so long straight for McCartney/all the excitement of him playing and have little energy. It's a lose lose. Then I know a ton of people want to see Modest Mouse so that makes things even crazier. On the bright side. This means Snoop/Cudi is probably on Saturday or Sunday and let's be honest here, I'm going to pretty up in the clouds for those two. When McCartney is on I want to be fairly sober so I can remember every moment in great detail so it's good to have them seperate. Regardless, Friday looks like it's going to be really hard to plan. And as usual, Sunday hard to fill.

Yeah I was really hoping Zedd was going to be post-HL Saturday cuz McCartney is Friday and especially if Kings of Leon end up being Saturday like most people are guessing. Maybe he'll have like 12:15-1:45am. I see Aoki being pre-HL material and Chainsmokers post-HL. Mostly just because he's the more mainstream of the two. I'd prefer to have Chainsmokers late at night so fingers crossed.

Yeah I feel like probably this. I'm sure Big G's slot would end up being something EDMish. If it was White Panda that would be too funny.

I'm with you on the stress of figuring out schedule including the relevance of what substance you want to be on for what. Honestly I probably want to be almost entirely sober for Paul - maybe a little stoned or a little bit tipsy, but that's it. Definitely no ECs. But if Zedd is right before him....that'd screw up so much haha

1. This set list is fucking incredible - wow. 2. The crowd is DEAD. What the hell. 3. I think their energy is great; not jumping up and down on the stage like boppy pop stars, but that's not their vibe. That's not what I'd want from a MM show. They are moody. But each to their own of course.
God I cannot wait to see them this Saturday. You just made it incredibly difficult for me to study for my midterm tomorrow.

I have no sympathy because I found that at work today and then spent a very unproductive 45 minutes "making edits on a document," aka enthralled by the video.
I'm all for a Kygo sunset show - could get really into that. But put them at 4/5 pm and I'll scream bloody murder.

I wish Wolf Parade would get back together. Or Handsome Furs. Or Moonface touring with Sinaii again. Just something with either Spencer Krug or Dan Boeckner. Or both. As in Wolf Parade.
+1000000000 xp for the jungle 2 jungle pic, and I had never heard of the operators before! How many damn bands is Boeckner in? Is Divine Fits still a thing?

This was the set that made me realize that I really need to see them live. This and Nick Cave's set from that year were unreal. When you put in the fact that Modest Mouse wants 58 bucks for a ticket, any fest with them is worth going to IMO. I'm excited for this set the most!

I'm not sure, but they opened for Future Islands at the beginning of January. They were much better live than whatever songs they have on Spotify.
